Some.

1) What kind of replication are we looking at? log file replay/syncnronous etc.
If it is real time, like usogres( I hope I am in line with things here), that
would be real good .Choice is always good..

2 If we are going to have replication, can we have built in load balancing? Is
it a good idea to have it in postgresql or a separate application would be way
to go?

And where are nested transactions?
